What is the diabetes? Know what your symptoms are
Diabetes is a chronic condition that appears when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of sugar in the blood, or when the body does not use it effectively (insulin resistance).
Diabetes symptoms include increased thirst, urinating more than usual, tiredness and weight loss, wounds that take time to heal, itchy genitals or frequent fungal appearance, blurred vision, nausea or vomiting, desire to eat in large quantities and blackish coloration on the neck and/or elbows.
Laboratory tests to detect diabetes are performed in our Clinical laboratory
There are several types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes
Which is characterized by the absence of insulin synthesis.
Type 2 diabetes
Which has its origin in the body’s inability to use it, this because of excess weight, lack of physical activity, and poor diet.
Gestational diabetes
which occurs in women during pregnancy. Genetics also play an important role in its development.
This disease ranks second among the causes of mortality in Mexico, ranking only below cardiovascular diseases. This means that 15.4% of Mexicans die from this disease, according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, INEGI).
Some of the consequences are blindness, kidney failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and amputation of the lower limbs.
Patients with diabetes need to control it with personalized treatment to achieve a good quality of life.
